Off Topic: Ep. 67 - I’m Gonna Disappoint Someone 

A "bar" is a place where you go to drink a wide variety of things. A "pub" is a bar that also serves food. A "tavern" is a restaurant that happens to also have a bar. An "inn" is a place where you stay that also has a place to eat attached, which may or may not have a bar. A hotel is kind of like a big inn that may or may not have a restaurant and/or other services available. And all that gets messy because people tend to name things whatever the hell they feel like.

I love how the " Foul language is prohibited" poster is positioned perfectly next to Michael, the most profane of them.

they need to give Gavin a 15 minute talk show segment during the podcast called "what are you on about?"

67 is actually a prime number, good on you Ryan.

A pub is a type of bar, but a bar is not always a pub. Gavin's explanation makes total sense. It's a different atmosphere, even if the product (alcohol) is the same.

"Just staring at Ryan." You know, the usual thing Gavin does.

There absolutely is a difference between a pub and a bar. At least in the UK

Jeremy's keeping a journal that he writes in nightly where he records all the shit Gavin does that he would normally get pissed about, that way the second this year is up he'll just flip it open and start tearing into him about everything he hated during the year. "June 7, 2017: Gavin talked about his FUCKING BATTERY POWERED TRASHCAN AGAIN!"

I have a step-ladder. I never knew my real ladder.

i feel so sorry for Gavin, like he speaks the truth about pubs and bars and the others are ripping in to him... when will they learn that gavin is normally right when talking about british things lol

i like how they got the hugh jackman clip almost immediately but never got the remake of matt falling through the ceiling or the tentacle clip

Ive been watching achievement hunter for years and I'm still enthralled by how smooth gavins skin looks

I see where Gavin is coming from with the whole pub v bar thing. Here in the U.K. there is a clear distinction between pubs and bars 😂

In England there is one day in the middle of august that it dose not rain, we call that summer

I think that Pubs are generally more cozy and welcoming, including the food and stuff, but bars are just there for hard drinking

Gavin is absolutely right about bars and pubs, and I'm American. A pub is like a mini restaurant, it's about drinking AND having a full meal, while a bar is all about the alcohol. Yeah, you can get a basket of drip-cheese nachos, or a couple small, greasy sliders at a bar, but you're not going there for a full meal. A good way to tell the difference (though this doesn't always work) is to ask does it have an age restriction? Because a bar is all about drinking and partying, they almost never let in anyone under 21 (in America). Because a pub is about drinking and eating, they will usually allow children with adult supervision, and will have a selection of soft drinks for them.

Ryan is in full, "How do you do fellow kids" mode

The house I grew up in had a popcorn ceiling with sparkles. Every time someone upstairs jumped or dropped something people in the living room got a shower of sparkles floating down from the ceiling.

Pub; you go for beer, meals with a chance of a game of pool/snooker and darts Bar; you go for drinks only

"Bar and Pubs are the usual places where people like to meet and hang-out, drink and have fun. Although many think that both these establishments are the same, they are not. Bars are establishments that serve drinks for consumption on the premises. A Pub generally is a place for locals to hang out, eat and drink." thanks Google!

They should do a 4+ hour long off topic one day, hopefully it doesn't make broadcast kill themselves

Loved the whole Pub vs. Bar discussion. Off Topic is great for that specific reason. With Gavin on it always turns into random conversations of misunderstanding.

That Theatre Mode was probably the best one they've done. I wish they could all be like that.

public house is a stop over. bar is a drinking place for the night. a gastro pub is a "nice" resturant like pub with a drinking bar in it. Public houses are usually next to a church and the centre of a village or high st.

Good to know that I have the same sleep schedule as Matt Bragg it makes me feel better about what a piece of trash I am

I'm actually genuinely happy to see Matt has showered

"You gotta get big and eat people" The best description to the "super hero workout" I've ever heard.

my pub of choice does indeed have a coat rack, fireplace and serves meals. But it's Ireland so that describes most pubs in small towns/villages.

bar vs pub google search: A pub is generally just a place for locals to hang out, eat, and drink. Bar and Pubs are both places where people can come together, hang out, drink and have fun. ... Though these differ, a Pub is a type of a Bar. Bars are retail business establishments that serve alcoholic drinks for consumption on the premises.

A bar is just a place to drink. A pub is a hangout that serves alcohol.

Like stripper names, a proper British pub name follows a specific formula: A one-syllable noun paired with a two-syllable noun, neither of which has anything the fuck to do with the other. E.g., "Pig & Whistle," "Duck & Elbow," "Bong & Bedpan," "Zit & Dildo," etc.

shit I actually want that jacket

The pub vs bar isn't restricted to the UK. Like Michael said, there are Irish pubs all over the U.S....Except Iv only ever eaten meals at them. There are even places here in NYC nd NJ called ______ bar & pub

We have pubs in australia and it's exactly what gavin is saying. A bar is more of an environment purely for alcohol, a pub is sort of a hybrid of a restaurant and a bar. Kids are allowed in with their family's and (at least in australia) are actually allowed a beer or cider if they're over the age of 12, as long as it's with a meal. Most of the time when you go to the pub, you're either going specifically for a meal, or to just catch up with some friends or wind down after work, have a beer or 2. People don't really go to pubs specifically to get drunk, although some pubs will have a sports bar or something off to the side that can only be accessed by 18+ and people get pissed in there sometimes, but that's just certain places. Pubs are great, usually really warm and welcoming.

Everyone talking about bars and pubs. I just wanna comment about how much I love Matt's shirt. Majora's Mask is a classic!

Michael looking like a mad scientist in the thumbnail.

Gavin singing the Xmen cartoon theme song is literally me every time someone tries to talk Xmen timelines lol

59:05 "Legs, Oh god legs! I still have Legs. Hand.. fingers, yup all the fingers, ears, eyes..."

It's a weird observation, I'll acknowledge it - given how much everyone else in AH has had a bit of a change in body shape over the last few years it's sorta astounding that Gav's old Team Nice Dynamite shirt still fits him so well

I, for one, love matt and am very happy that he's in this video

"Summer's already here in March" Meanwhile it's 20 fucking degrees in Delaware

Gavin with his beard at any close up reminds me of the toy Tim Allen Santa.

so in case anyone was actually curious about their Rita Repulsa (Power Rangers) conversation; the actress for Rita was acting in a Japanese show that Power Rangers takes it's footage from called Super Sentai. The actress was then dubbed over for the american Power rangers release.

Pro tip Matt; every day sleep an hour earlier, or later, than the day before until you get the sleep schedule you want. That way you don't have to make a huge adjustment at once.

I'm in Portland Oregon and there is a Pub 181 on 181st and Division. It is like a bar, but has carpet.

Gavin always proposes a weird hypothetical question and acts all surprised when someone inquires further.

God, I love Matt. He has his wonderful moments :)

Thank you Michael, I never understood why I didn't like Sunny but you hit the nail on the head that it's just more-direct Seinfeld. Since I never liked Seinfeld either I totally understand why I never liked Sunny now.

the more off topic podcasts I watch the more I keep thinking that achievement hunter is filled with vacuum enthusiasts

As a Latvian, I always love it when Gavin randomly mentions it.

53:42 Nice cut right there.

Ryan's Console definition humor made me happy. Thank you for that Ryan :)

in the UK, a bar is just the bar part. In a pub, you would have seating and maybe a beer garden and a bar. Bar's are also found in a lot of restaurants or clubs. So the bar literally means just the table where they actually serve drinks, and usually, in a pub you can order food. I've never heard of a pub that doesn't have at least some kind of actual meal.

I love how Gav says "summer's right here" yet I was staring at snow till noon today.

I figured out why Ryan hates the top floor of the bunker in 7 days to die, cause it reminds him of his attic lol

Damn Ryan, 67 is a prime number

A pub is more of a combination of restaurant and bar, a bar is just a bar.

Ryan is looking extra dad here.

for the record: in season one of power rangers, they used footage from the Japanese show for Rita, in season 2 the show they were using for her had ended, so they hired an actress to play her role.

MICHAEL IS SO RIGHT. The little giant ladders were dope but stupidly heavy. Made for a stable ladder tho

I've just realised i am Matt

a bar is a place with booze, a pub has a bar, the place where you get the beer and stuff in a pub is the bar.

In America, there is much less difference between a pub and a bar. The two are largely interchangeable. The common understanding, I think, is that if something is called a "pub" in the U.S., it probably is meant to evoke the ambience of a UK pub- although what exactly that is depends on which "pub" you're at. However, I've been to both bars and pubs in the U.S. which served restaurant-type meals. I've only been to one pub in the UK (alright, technically, I have been *outside* of one pub in the UK). I was still a kid with my family, and it was passed local dinner time, so this particular pub had begun to limit patronage to those above drinking age. Basically, at night it turned into just a bar!

*looks up at popcorn ceiling and sighs*

So late to the game but I LOVE this ladder talk. Little big giants forever!

I was always under the impression that bars and pubs are in fact different, its just that in America, they're not called pubs, they're called "bar & grills". For example, say you want to celebrate with your boys and have a night out on the town, you'd hit up one or multiple bars for some rounds before heading out somewhere else. But, if you all just want to get together to hang out, you'd all go to a bar & grill, order a meal, and have a pint or two while playing a round of pool or darts or slots while you wait for the food to come out. Problem is, a lot of these places are "disguised", if you will, as family friendly restaurants, like Applebee's or Chili's. Despite this, there are ones that fit the more conventional feel of places that are more for adults, but I've found that they are more of a local business type establishment (as to be expected, really) and are sometimes harder to come across as a result. In my town alone, I can think of five places off the top of my head that fit the bill of "pub" as to how Gavin explains it, but they call themselves a "bar & grill".

talking about the weather in the beginning, like omfg I'm so jealous. it just snowed another 6 inches on top of the 100 we got the rest of the winter.

Did Ryan just make a death note reference at 1:49:43 ?! omg, I love Ryan even more now.

that was the funniest theater mode bit they've ever played.

What happened at 53:44? Was that something wrong with my end or what?

Voices of wisdom from off screen is such a funny concept

Is 67 a Prime Number? Me: Hold on let me ask Christopher.

Octopuses definitely DO have blood, lol.

in Canada (at least in Québec), there definitely is a difference between a bar and a pub. It is similar to what Gavin is saying. A bar is a place to drink your heart away. You can do that in a pub, but it is more of a homey place. If I wanted to go get lunch with a few friends after a class in college if we all had free time, we would walk down the street to the pub nearby and get some awesome meals and a few beers. If there was food in a bar, I would definitely not try it.

So what happened at 1:24:53 where it sounded like Michael wasn't supposed to say "The Link"...did he spoil something?

you guys need to get miles on this podcast i think that would be fun

Fun fact, to test if a number X is prime take the square root of the number. Then see if any prime number lower than sqrt(X) divides X. If none do, then X is prime.

"It's March expect the summer." It snowed yesterday here in Ohio.

i really want to know how much fun Michael had being the voice actor for Sting Eucliffe from Fairy Tail.

I don't care about the difference, but me and a friend used to play music in a place in Rolla, MO, called The Public House Brewing Co., and it was awesome. Most people called it "the pub."

Broadcast didn't give up on that Theater Mode clip. They left the graphic up for so long before they finally must've said "They forgot. Let's wait 'til they remember." And whataya know, they remembered! After a half hour or so xD I know they probably try their hardest not to interfere too much in the productions, but the laughs, groans, and random answers that we hear from them are usually one of my favourite parts of the podcasts&live shows. Also, I think if one of the guys tried to cut out the AH symbol themselves, THEN Marcus would DEFINITELY get involved. Hell, the minute they popped into the shop&asked for a power-tool of any kind, either Marcus would hear or word would get back to Marcus&he'd run over and do it himself immediately haha. After first checking the AH office&a few other spots, to make sure they aren't just causing havoc.

god, that robocop spoof is an absolute masterpiece. holy fuck

yes, the ancient one from doctor strange played Gabriel in Constantine the movie(the one with Keanu reeves). also, she apparently has a form of synesthesia where she perceives words as having tast to them.

Home improvement of Off Topic

That can crush was a bit underwhelming. I was expecting the table to collapse, considering he was hitting it with Mjölnir. Although, I suppose I can't blame Michael for not destroying it.

Do the Coke can crush again but in slow motion, with Michael and Ryan as guests

There is no difference between a pub and bar when you're under the legal drinking age

1:40:00 Gavins "im sorry" was so funny to me i have no idea why

Favorite Irish pub is Two Fools Tavern in Albuquerque, New Mexico!

I feel like you can't really define the difference between a bar and a pub since it's mostly based on the atmosphere of the place.

1:16:38 made me laugh so damn hard! it reminded me of Geoff's flub in the minecraft episode a while back EDIT: 1:24:59 made me laugh equally as hard

pubs and bars are typically different, but a pub has a bar, so there is some overlap. -new yorker

really helping me fall asleep with the ladder talk

They do have to remember bars are required to serve food by law, it is not by choice, well, atleast in Canada

"Is 1 prime?" Quick, someone tell them about Numberphile!

team love n stuff slowly rises from the dead

I'm so hype to watch the hit man video just how they are describing it.

3:04 Micheal's face is just a kill me face

Gavin is talking about a hole saw. They have them that fit on a drill and they cut a large perfect circle with a saw blade shaped in a ring. Would be the easiest and fastest way to cut the brand off.

Finally I've seen the mythical Larry
